A winning start for Andy Farrell as coach and Johnny Sexton as captain. Gregor Townsend will be disappointed after a Herculean final drive from Scotland. There will be a few worrying injuries for Farrell with Tadhg Furlong limping off in the final ten minutes. Keep an eye on ESPN for all the updates and reaction in the coming days.

Allan Dell takes the ball to ground but it squirts away from him and Ireland win a scrum. With the clock in the red, this should be the last play of the game.

The cancellation of this year's November internationals and the 2021 Six Nations due to coronavirus restrictions would have a "catastrophic impact" on the Rugby Football Union's (RFU) finances, chief executive Bill Sweeney said on Tuesday.

Re-elected World Rugby chairman Bill Beaumont is confident he can create a Nations Championship at the second attempt, suggesting two straight months of Test rugby at the end of the year could be the answer.
